Property Description
Tucked away in the woods near historic Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown, this enchanting 2BR/1BA cottage feels like something out of a storybook. Originally built in 1900, the home beautifully blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and modern comfort. Affectionately described by the owners as a “magical little fairy house,” this home has a warmth and charm that simply makes you smile the moment you walk up to it.
The setting itself is part of what makes this home so special. Surrounded by nature, the home offers a peaceful sense of serenity that feels worlds away while still remaining conveniently accessible for commuters. The owners share that “the home just feels like light,” and that stepping outside instantly brings a sense of calm and ease.
One of their favorite spots is the spacious front porch, the perfect place to sip coffee while watching summer thunderstorms roll through the mountains or unwind in the evening while grilling and taking in the sunset. Whether you're enjoying the quiet wooded surroundings or cozying up inside, this home invites you to slow down and savor simple moments.
Inside, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen, cozy living spaces, and accessibility features including a ramp entrance. The fenced yard adds both privacy and practicality.
And while the home has been well loved, the important updates have already been taken care of over the years, including a metal roof, new well installed in 2008, and an updated 2-bedroom septic system completed in 2013 for added peace of mind.
Perfect for nature lovers, hiking enthusiasts, or anyone simply tired of the hustle and bustle and looking for a peaceful place to retreat at the end of the day. Whether you're searching for a cozy full-time residence, a weekend escape near Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, or a unique investment opportunity, this charming cottage offers the perfect blend of whimsy, comfort, nature, and convenience.
